The invention relates to a recombinant vector and a recombinant 
cell, in particular to a humanized recombinant vector and recombinant 
cell for detecting 
aromatic hydrocarbon receptor ligands (such as dioxin-type substances). The invention also relates to a purpose of the recombinant vector and 
cell in the aspects of biological detection of 
aromatic hydrocarbon receptor ligands (such as dioxin-type substances). The DRE-sequence-containing human CYP1A1 
gene promoters or partial segments of the promoters are cloned to a basic genetic vector with a 
luciferase recording 
gene, the obtained recombinant vector and cell have good response on the dioxin; the lowest 
detection limit can reach 0.3pM; the humanized recombinant vector and cell are particularly suitable for elevating the influence of the 
aromatic hydrocarbon receptor ligands (such as dioxin-type substances) on the 
human body health and performing relevant mechanism study.
