Looks a lot like the blocking solution published by Li et al. in JHC 35: 
1457-1460 (0.1% sodium azide and 0.3% H2O2 in buffer). Works like a charm.

Many membrane antigens don't like being dehydrated. You take away the 
membrane lipids necessary for the stabilization of the protein structure.

Just my 2 cents
